The Next Gundam Legend Begins: Why Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Is Taking Japan by Storm


In 2025, Gundam didn’t just return—it exploded onto the scene.
And the name that has everyone talking is:

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

This isn't just another installment in the long-running Gundam franchise.

This is a bold, genre-defining reimagining that screams: “The future of Gundam is here.”




Studio Khara + Sunrise = Anime Dream Team

Let’s start with the creators.
This series is helmed by Tsurumaki Kazuya (famous for his work on Evangelion), with series composition by Yōji Enokido and script collaboration by Hideaki Anno himself. That’s right: it’s the historic first collaboration between Studio Khara and Sunrise.

The result? Stunning animation, emotionally charged character design, and mobile suit battles so fluid and explosive they’ll leave you breathless. And yes—the debut scene of the GQuuuuuuX is already legendary.



The Theme Song by Kenshi Yonezu? Instant Classic.

Gundam has always had iconic music, but this time they went next level.
The theme song, “Plazma” by Kenshi Yonezu, blends haunting vocals and electric rhythms into a soaring sci-fi anthem. It's not just a song—it’s an experience, echoing through the vacuum of space and into your soul.



Theatrical Prologue -Beginning- Sparks a Cultural Phenomenon

Before the TV series even aired, the theatrical prologue Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- hit cinemas on January 17, 2025—and the hype was real.

  • Over 35 million yen at the box office in just 3 days

  • 1.8 million viewers and counting

  • Top spot in Japan’s weekend box office rankings

  • Social media exploded with hashtags like #GQuuuuuuX and #GundamGirl

Even casual viewers flocked to theaters—because this wasn’t just for longtime fans. It’s Gundam for a new era.



The Story: Girl Meets Gundam, and Everything Changes

The plot follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony. Her life changes the moment she meets Nyaan, a mysterious refugee girl, and gets drawn into the underground world of illegal mobile suit duels known as Clan Battle.

Taking on the alias Machyu, Amate pilots a mobile suit and finds herself fighting for more than survival—she’s now part of something bigger.

Enter: the titular Gundam GQuuuuuuX, piloted by a silent, enigmatic boy named Shuji Ito. Together, their lives unravel a web of secrets, war, and destiny that could reshape the galaxy.

It’s about finding your place. About friendship, war, and sacrifice.
And about standing tall—even when the universe is against you.
